Greetings,

NERSC's new computing resource, jacquard is now in production. If you
are a seaborg user you can log into jacquard using your NIM password.
You can use your NERSC allocation on either machine.

Jacquard is a very different machine than seaborg.  In very broad terms
jacquard offers much faster CPUs and a lower latency interconnect but
smaller scale parallelism and smaller file storage. The queues on
jacquard are arranged to favor long running (48 hours) jobs on small
numbers of nodes. By configuring the queues this way we hope to deliver
good turn around time to small concurrency jobs.

If you have questions about jacquard or how to make the most of your
allocation on either machine feel free to contact NERSC consulting.

Regards,

David Skinner
